So What’s Normal?
We all know beauty product prices can range from cheap as chips to the price of a small car. But a lot of the cosmetics we buy can be reckless impulse purchases because the packaging is pretty, or it smells like heaven in a jar.

The recent survey interviewed 2,822 people (an equal number of men and women) and discovered they spent an average of £153 a month on beauty bits.
This was broken down into:

£55 on hair colour
£22 on beauty products
£27 on treatments
£25 on other beauty-related buys
